THERE will be £20m spent on regeneration in the Rhondda Fach over the next decade.

Rhondda Cynon Taf (RCT) Council has confirmed a UK Government Pride in Place programme has been approved for the area which means funding of up to £20m will be made available over 10 years, to focus on regeneration projects across neighbourhoods in Tylorstown, Maerdy, Ferndale, Ynyshir and Wattstown.

The UK Government has launched two programmes under its Pride in Place strategy, one of which is the impact fund that represents short-term £1.5m funding to address issues that matter locally and the other being a larger £20m Pride in Place programme that targets transformation over the longer term.
